Earl Cooks Hoagie Roll Pizzas


I don't recall ever meeting anyone who didn't like pizza. With just the two of us eating, we don't often do pizza. But I had 2 hoagie rolls leftover from our game day grub and I thought "wow, this would be good for French bread pizza". I had all the ingredients I needed on hand which are:
2 Hoagie rolls, chunky pasta sauce, pepperoni, bacon, and several kinds of cheese.
—Simply slice 2 rolls and cover with sauce, 2 to 3 tbls per halved roll. Add any of your favorite seasonings (garlic, basil, etc).
—Then for ours I topped with 4 slices of pepperoni, which I microwaved very briefly between paper towels to remove the extra fat. About 15 seconds is all it takes.
—I topped that with a blend of Italian cheese (pre-shredded).
—I topped that with crumbled bacon and topped the bacon layer with shredded mozzarella.
—I cooked it for 10 minutes at 400℉, then turned the broiling element on and cooked it another 5.
The Results:
I thought it was very good but but my better half, "Turkey", wanted more pepperoni, which would have been good, and she felt I over cooked it a bit (the cheese was somewhat crusty and overly brown for her taste). However, she said her leftovers for lunch the next day were softer after reheating.
